I think it should be the same as Java.  Methods can't be overridden to 
be more private.

I still don't understand why the original hello() method is 
overloading, not overriding.  Is nice-void different than java-void?  
Is there a way to specifically declare the return type for the method 
as java-void (for readability/documentation purposes)?  I'll update the 
wiki with more examples of using Nice from Java, but I need to know 
what I'm talking about!
